When ingredients have acquired a shiny appearance, add dashijiru, shoyu, sake and mirin. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid has been absorbed. Turn off heat and add green beans. C.) Place B in serving dish, sprinkle with sauteed sesame seeds. If you like, add seven-taste pepper to taste.
